==Theory==
The Marxist revolutionary theory of forming a united front is to create a community of common revolutionary interests with activists of various movements unhappy with the existing [[social]] or [[political]] order who demand immediate change. Many of these activists may not agree with the end views of revolutionary Marxism, however they are willing to take to the streets to achieve transformational change by "whatever it takes". For example, the marrying of "tree huggers" to the "anti-war" or "anti-racism" movements.

In November 1932, the German Communist Party worked with Nazis to organize for a critical transport strike, shortly before Hitler attained power. The Nazis were called "Bolsheviks" by the press.<ref>Bullock, Alan (1962). Hitler:_a_Study_in_Tyranny (New York: Smithmark Publishers), pp. 229-232.</ref>

==United States==
On March 18, 1933, the executive committee of the [[Comintern]] declared the adoption of a United Front policy. Its initial aim was to discredit support for reformist leadership, but meeting with little success it soon turned to anti-facsism. In 1935, the Comintern called for unity among all anti-fascist forces. In keeping with this policy, the [[Communist Party of the United States]] (CPUSA) openly embraced [[President Roosevelt]] and the [[New Deal]], became vocal advocates of religious liberty and sought an alliance with the [[church]]es, the strategy being the creation of a network of [[Glossary of espionage terms#Fronts and cutouts|front organization]]s which could win popular support and co-operation among the American electorate.
